The purpose of this investigation is to present a
statistical model to find the dominant skill of the ten
National Basketball Association (NBA) superstars that
portray muscle memory from the NBA Regular Season
2014-2018. Training and work-outs of every NBA
superstar are identified to determine what constitutes
muscle memory. This study used descriptive statistics
(mean, standard error of the mean, and standard
deviation), time series plot, and multiple linear regression
to create a reliable model for the ten outstanding player
rankings in the NBA. The independent variables within the
regression equation included field goal percentage (FG%),
three-point percentage (3P%), free-throw percentage
(FT%). The free-throws and field- goals have a consistent
average throughout the years and positively contribute to
scoring. While, as the player gets older, injuries and
fatigue are the factors that affect the three-points
performance of a player. Hence, the NBA player’s
offensive training and work-outs are identified to provide
a valuable tool. The person-concerned must take into
consideration the science and the various parameters
which improve a certain offensive skill of an athlete. And
for coaches, athletes, and physical education instructors, it
would be better if all their training related to the
improvement of basketball offensive skills must be closelybased on the training and workouts provided in this study
